Our readers agree that in the unlikely event you were able to approach a neutron star, it would look very smooth and bright ...

Astronomers have captured the clearest picture yet of how massive stars are born, revealing a dramatic interplay between ...

The bold question-askers at What If reveal the astonishing density of neutron stars. Florida’s $83 million land deal is ‘an ...

We previously covered one such “gravity telescope” with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO). Another one is the Japanese project Kamioka Gravitational Wave Detector (KAGRA).

Some things we see in space appear to outpace light. Now we are learning to harness these bizarre optical illusions to ...

A companion star may have stripped silicon layers. This provided a new window into stellar death. Astronomers have observed the inner layers of a dying star through a rare type of stellar explosion ...

New simulations of neutron star mergers reveal that the mixing and changing of tiny particles called neutrinos impacts how ...

The collision and merger of two neutron stars — the incredibly dense remnants of collapsed stars — are some of the most energetic events in the universe, producing a variety of signals that can be ...

From Newton’s falling apple to Einstein’s curved spacetime, our understanding of gravity has come a long way, yet this ...

IUCAA scientist explains gravity, gravitational waves to students at SRM University-AP outreach event, featuring academic sessions and hands-on experiments.

For the past decade, gravitational wave astronomy has opened our eyes to amazing cosmic phenomena thanks to LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory. Bob McDonald celebrates LIGO ...
